# 🏫 K-12 Comprehensive Educational Dataset

**The most comprehensive K-12 educational dataset combining 29 authoritative sources**

## Quick Start

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

# Load the dataset
dataset = load_dataset("robworks-software/k12-comprehensive-educational-dataset")

# Access different splits
train_data = dataset['train']
val_data = dataset['validation']
test_data = dataset['test']

# Filter by category
texas_data = train_data.filter(lambda x: x['_category'] == 'texas')
standards = train_data.filter(lambda x: x['_category'] == 'standards')
federal = train_data.filter(lambda x: x['_category'] == 'federal')
```

## Usage Examples

### Filter by Source Category
```python
# Get all standards data
standards = dataset['train'].filter(lambda x: x['_category'] == 'standards')

# Get CCSS Common Core standards
ccss = dataset['train'].filter(lambda x: x['_source'] == 'ccss_standards')

# Get Texas performance data
tx_perf = dataset['train'].filter(lambda x: x['_source'] == 'texas_performance')
```

### Cross-Category Analysis
```python
# Compare state accountability systems
state_data = dataset['train'].filter(lambda x: x['_category'] == 'state_portal')

# Correlate finance and outcomes
finance = dataset['train'].filter(lambda x: 'finance' in x['_source'])
```
